Community Water and Sanitation
Community Sanitation Block
Limited access to the toilet is prevalent in Kibera today. In general, sanitation in kibera is very limited making it a breeding ground for virus outbreaks. As a consequence of this problem, people resort to local latrines that are shared with more than 50 families.
This pain of not being able to access the toilet is much more severe to the disabled members of our society. K.R.T.C saw the struggle that was being experienced by the Makina residents and especially the disabled and constructed toilets that are currently favorable and accessible free of charge to people leaving with disabilities. The facility comprises toilets, shower rooms and toilets specifically fitted to serve the interest and needs of this special group. This facility not only serves the needs of this special group but has also created employment to (16) youths in makina area.
KRTC’s Water Business.
Kibera slum area experiences acute water shortages and disrupted supply. This is an almost daily occurrence. This has resulted in many of the small time businesses and various household activities being grounded. This explains the worsening situation of many household livelihoods in the area. In order to help cub this situation, KRTC started a water business project with the help of 5 youth from the Makina area. This project is hugely benefitting the local community and the small businesses community. Besides the 5 youth employed in the running of this project, the project also provides water for children who come to play football in the area with the required water, provides an access to free water to the Girl’s Workshop which has also employed 3 trainers and 10 trainees. KRTC supply the water at Sh8 per twenty litre and supplies an approximate 160 households in the area.
